Hello, I have been reading the forum and finally decided to post. I had Right TKR on July 01. I am young for this but when your knees are shot and all other things have been done it is time. I am glad my Dr. Was willing to do the surgery as usually they don't do under 50 and I am 39. I will be having my left knee done asap as well when I am ready. Everyone I work with regarding my knee seems surprised my Dr. agreed. But MRI’s don’t lie And either does my history.
I was unprepared for the initial pain and ended up 3 nights in the hospital instead of the one. But, once the right medication was prescribedI feel like I am doing well, maybe over doing?
I started outpt PT days after and am currently at 0 extension and about 115 ROM. I have to go back to work on Tuesday so hopefully that will not slow my progress. I am not using anything to walk unlessI do not know the terrain or where I am. Reading these forums I realize that I am doing pretty well considering. I am trying to be patient but its not my nature, I keep having to tell myself to chill out . My Dr. did warn me about hiw tough this was and even said that younger females seem to struggle the most. So far I feel I am doing well.
